Whats the highest aperture on your lens? But even with that factor, chances are it was just too dark of a location. With the few times I've played around with a 60D I found going past 1600 or so creates too grainy of an image for my tastes. As a GH2 | | | | |

Gentlemen,
I'm studying the Canon cinema lenses, and they look to be awesome glass. They tout the "4K resolution" for motion pictures, but how does that differ from stills? The RED Epic is 5K at 5120x2700 (16x9), a Canon APS-C is 5184x3456 (3x2). | | | | |
